EdD, a seller from Middlebury, CT
John was great. After he conducted and presented us with a sound market analysis and guided us in setting a competitive listing price, our house sold in less than a day. John helped us negotiate a final sales price and went above and beyond in working with us through the closing.

I highly recommend Showcase Realty and John Donato!

Jeff, a seller from Waterbury, CT
Was being relocated by work out of state on fairly short notice, and needed to sell my house so I could complete the purchase of a new one out of state. Interviewed three different realtors: first one didn't seem to know the local market well enough and wanted to price the home 20k too low for a quick sale. The second one wanted to ensure my business by suggesting we could price the house 20K higher than it's value, we knew it would never sell at that price... John came in with the pricing suggestion that made sense and he got us a good sale in a reasonable time frame, not too quick or too long suggesting the price was right. He had been in all the comparable homes for sale and knew exactly where ours fell in comparison and what price we would get. n nJohn went well above and beyond working with the relocation company I had to use for work, it added a lot of extra steps to the already complicated process but he pushed through it. we had lots of traffic through the house, and more than one offer so the listing was well advertised and the listing was attractive. John also provided names of some good folks for performing the repairs needed after inspection. Very satisfied, I highly recommend John for the Waterbury area.

Sarah, a buyer from Watertown, CT
John was so easy to work with! He showed us options within our range and offered his expert opinion/advice when viewing properties. He assisted us in negotiations following an inspection. He also provided several references for us in relation to the purchase of our first home. It was a pleasure to work with John and my husband and I plan to use him in the future when we are ready to buy/sell!

AceContractor, a buyer from Waterbury, CT
John is a diligent Realtor. I purchase investment properties regularly, and John is the most knowledgeable local agent I have encountered. He understands property values, how to navigate foreclosures, etc.... He is an excellent negotiator and has always given me sound advice. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell any properties.

CT to NC!, a seller from Thomaston, CT
We talked to several other agents before listing with John. We found an industry cluttered with part timers and new agents who needed to check with a senior agent to answer any question we had. Once we found John the process became easy. He listed our condo at a fair price in a down market and it sold in less than a month. He is a true professional who knows his craft and knows his market. A+ experience.

John did everything you can ask for from a professional realtor with the selling and purchase of our new home. He was responsive, upfront and honest throughout the entire process.

Jackie C, a seller from Waterbury, CT
I sold my house within 2 weeks thanks to John Donato, Jr. from Showcase Realty. I was extremely happy with his professionalism and the end result. I contemplated selling my home two years ago and asked John to do a market study, however, I decided not to list my house at that time and I appreciated John not pressuring me into signing a listing contract. Because of that, I made sure to call John when I decided to put the house on the market this spring. As the seller, I made sure to do my part i.e. understanding and being realistic with regards to the current market/pricing, de-cluttering my home and having the house ready to shown at all times. John, on the other hand did a great job getting a qualified buyer, helping with the negotiation and ultimately a quick and stress-free close. I think from beginning to end, the entire process took 60 days - it was a great partnership. If you are thinking of listing your home, I would certainly give him a call..Thanks John! Less

Tim V, a seller from Waterbury, CT
I had the pleasure of working with John Jr. John is not only the consummate professional and is tremendously knowledgeable in the real estate arena, but he is a person who ALWAYS does the right thing. You meet people in all aspects of life who are good at what they do but they are in the business to make a buck. John always puts his customers and the people who know him first. He ensures that his customers are satisfied and truly happy about their real estate experience. n John Donato Jr. is the type of person you are proud to know and work with!
